Philips Unveils its New, Icon-based CVIS Platform

The IntelliSpace Cardiovascular CVIS uses icons at the top of the page to help navigate a patient's history more quickly.

March 19, 2015 — Philips Healthcare launched IntelliSpace Cardiovascular at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2015 meeting. The Web-enabled cardiovascular information system (CVIS) offers a single integrated workspace that produces a holistic view of the patient's care continuum across the entire cardiovascular service line. The new solution provides cardiologists with sophisticated tools for diagnosis and planning of patient cardiovascular care. The system uses an intuitive icon based tab system to easily sort and recognize various types of exams, imaging and reports.

IntelliSpace serves as a layer of interoperability that allows all care team members to access data and sophisticated clinical applications within one workspace. By centralizing patient data from different areas of the hospital, the system helps facilitate a streamlined workflow and improve patient care. The new way information is displayed allows all care team members to view the patient's history spanning diagnosis, treatment and therapy, fostering collaboration and potentially eliminating unnecessary and repetitive tests.

IntelliSpace Cardiovascular offers a suite of interoperable clinical modules designed to help improve workflow across the entire cardiovascular service line from virtually anywhere. Built-in echocardiography reporting features give cardiologists the ability to identify and eliminate inaccuracies within reports.

Population health management is a challenge that requires access to a broad spectrum of data, including discrete information about a patient's condition. IntelliSpace Cardiovascular includes built-in tools for analytics, which compile data into searchable and manageable information for physicians, administrators and researchers. The analytic capabilities provide insight into operational efficiency, productivity and population health, allowing care team members to focus more of their time on delivering the best possible patient care.
